Short Report Polysomnographic Telemetry Using Telediagnostic and Oxford Medilog 9000 Systems

Sleep was recorded in 24 normal adult sleepers (21-42 years of age) for 4 consecutive nights (2 nights in the laboratory and 2 nights in the home environment) using one of two commercially available telemetry systems, either the Telediagnostic or the Oxford Medilog 9000. Modifications to each system were necessary to approximate standard laboratory techniques for polysomnography. With comparability in recording techniques between systems, there were no qualitative or quantitative differences in standard electroencephalogram sleep parameters recorded in either the home or laboratory environment.
